Burgundy produces a huge selection of wines within its boarders.  Each town represents a sub-viniculture area where wine may be produced.  Most people think Burgundian wine to be only Pinot Noir; however much of the wine produced here is Chardonnay.  Named after the town found in Burgundy, chardonnay began its days in this beautiful landscape.  More specifically, most of the southern vineyards produce almost nothing but Chardonnay.  These wines are often aged in a combination of both barrel and stainless, and go through little to no malolactic fermentation.  The result is a dry, crisp wine with no heavy butter, and a classic minerality.  In my next three posts I will review three of my favorite Burgundian whites.
